[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi,

Thanks for posting your concern to us. I had to delete your initial post as it contained your logs. I am reposting below without the sensitive log information for reference :

“Hello

When I try to add a UserInterest, I am getting the following error

61700784,  IsFault: 0, FaultMessage: "None"

 Request made: Host: "googleads.googleapis.com", Method: "/google.ads.googleads.v7.services.CampaignCriterionService/MutateCampaignCriteria", CustomerId: 1861700784, RequestId: "ib6vx9wry5cy7LynWcrgiA", IsFault: 1, FaultMessage: "["Invalid user interest criterion."]"

Response

Fault

Status code: 3

Details: Request contains an invalid argument.

Failure: {"errors":[{"errorCode":{"criterionError":"INVALID_USER_INTEREST"},"message":"Invalid user interest criterion.","trigger":{"int64Value":"730"},"location":{"fieldPathElements":[{"fieldName":"operations","index":0},{"fieldName":"create"},{"fieldName":"user_interest"},{"fieldName":"user_interest_category"}]}}],"requestId":"ib6vx9wry5cy7LynWcrgiA"}

Any Idea why?--

”

Upon checking the request body for a mutate of campaignCriteria, you’ve set invalid userInterest criterion. To resolve this issue, you may try to set the valid userInterest criterion. To get more information on user interest category, you may refer to this guide.

You may also refer to the following references to know the values that you can set for the user interest in the API request:

• https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/codes-formats#expandable-1
• https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/codes-formats#expandable-6

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.

If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

I will need to delete your post again because of the generated logs on your end.

Moving forward, please note of the below statement and try this verification:
When retrieving UserInterest to set in UserInterestInfo, verify the availabilities[] are compatible with the campaign type. Some UserInterest options are only available for specific campaign types.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Binu,

I work with Ernie and will assist you. Some User Interests will just have 'launched_to_all = true' to signify it's available in all campaign types. For help with PHP Client Library you may reach out to their issue tracker.
